I would never dare --- and the Catholic Church would never dare --- to teach something unambiguously slap-down forbidden by St.Paul.

But Paul said to be faithful to his spoken word, his example, and his letters --- correct?

>>But Paul said to be faithful to his spoken word, his example, and his letters --- correct?<<

Then produce a source that proves Paul taught the assumption of Mary. And while your at it show a source that proves what the Catholic Church today claims was taught orally by the apostles. I do believe metmom has asked for that proof as well and has never received it.

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

1 John 3:21-24

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
